Watch a clip of my interview with BBC East Midlands about the news that children’s heart surgery is staying at Glenfield Hospital. Thanks so much to the staff, patients and their families, charities, the East Midlands MPs and all the members of the public who backed the campaign. We couldn’t have done it without you!

I’m absolutely thrilled with the decision and I’d like to thank each and every one of you who has supported us along the way.

Since I was first elected as the MP for Leicester West seven years ago, the future of children’s heart surgery at Glenfield has been my most important local campaign and I am extremely proud to have helped lead the fight to save this vital service.

It has been a huge team effort and I am very grateful to all the patients and families, the brilliant staff at Glenfield, charities and MPs from across the East Midlands.

Last week’s decision was a vote of confidence in the hard work of our amazing doctors and nurses, and in the hospital’s plans for the future.

As your MP I’ll continue to do everything I can to back the hospital and hold the Department of Health and NHS England to account in supporting Glenfield to achieve its goals.

We couldn’t have done this without you – thank you from the bottom of my heart.
